Eamon Dunphy

nomorebadtown

A controversial figure. He seems to be either loved or loathed - where do you stand?

Edit - could a mod correct the spelling of eamon in the poll please:o

Have a pint with him that he bought, then kick his arse

Xavi6

I like Eamo

Jimbo

I think you're mistaken. I don't know anyone who loves him.

Royale with Cheese

I like him on tv stirring shít, but wouldn't be able to sit through a pint with him.

darkman2

Why are we referring to him simply as "Eamonn"?

Biggins

Can't stand him. He loves to be loud, controversial for attention and publicity sake and is full of himself.
If his likes is what RTE is producing for the future still, RTE will further decline in viewership for his type of low IQ "dumbed down brain fodder for the masses".

Sir Gallagher

I'd love to have a jar with him and talk about the spanish league, he's an expert on it you know.

Because in a way we're all friends with Eamonn.

Agreed, clearly it should be "Eamon"

He interviews public figures for Radio 1 you know.
I'd hardly call that a dumbed down show.

A lot of these are university professors and economists. A few artists too.
Dumbed down?

galwayrush

In his eternal quest to be noticed, he has gone so far over the edge that he possibly believes his own bull**** at ths stage.

Mint Sauce

i'd have a pint with him, if only to see what he's like without a camera or tape recorder in front of him, just one pint though

tipp86

I have his home phone number ! some laugh ringing him when we are drinking !

No, that's Biffo. Dunphy's so hungover, he can't remember his own bullsh1t.

This poll needs... "Do an impression of Eamon Dunphy"

The Mad Hatter

It seems to me that some people from Dublin like Dunphy, and no-one else does.

That's where you're wrong.

The people who don't like Eamon Dunphy watch him just as much as those who dislike.

I don't agree with everything he says but he's great entertainment.

I agree I might be wrong.
However I strongly disagree that "people who don't like Eamon Dunphy watch him just as much as those who dislike."
I know family and also friends that switch him off as soon as he comes on no matter what programme he suddenly pops up in or is hosting.

Each to their own - he might be entertaining but its lighthearted stuff and for some reason he seems to think he's always right, knowledgeable and an authority on everything - especially on the more serious times he gets involved in discussions. I have yet to hear him say (or its equivalent) just once "yes, your right and I am wrong".

I don't like him, the majority might do.
I just can't stand him and with sarcasm being the lowest form of wit, the bucketfuls he dishes it out in, says a lot about him.

Mr.Lizard

I don't think I would. He seems like the type who would try to avoid getting his round in.

Diabhal Beag

He speaks the truth. Anyone who doesn't like him liives in D4 or has a bias against alcohol

Rented Mule

The poll doesn't have enough options.

From the options presented .....having a pint sounds like the best option,

deadhead13

Eamon Dunphy is a troll.

I agree with this one. He's good craic, as long as I have the option of switching him off.

entropi

The man is not afraid to speak his mind, something that this shockingly pc friendly country lacks on tv and radio, and for that i would gladly have a pint with him:)

Agreed. Here he is acting in the film Labryinth.

sdanseo

Ah I like Eamo - he may be an opinionated aul fart but at least he doesnt let people boss him around and in fairness when he's not plastered, he's usually spot on with his punidtry.

Agamemnon

I'd have a pint with him because he's supposed to be normal enough in real life. As RTE rent-a-gobs go, he's quite entertaining. About 20% of what he says is spot-on, the rest is enjoyable twaddle. Gerry Ryan, watch and learn.

big b

Although he sometimes tries a bit too hard, I like him.
He has what most other TV sport pundits lack - a personality.

Like him or loathe him - either way, you tend to notice him.

Captain-America

I personally think he and Bill should get their own tv show of football punditry. It'd be like Aprés Match but better.
They're carrying Graeme Souness and that other guy nobody cares about.

here he is the muppet

Captain-America

He's lost a bit of weight at least.

Dont you get it, Graeme Souness is the 'Dead Wood'. It was a master stroke to get him on the panel.


Dunphy is one of the few things worth watching on RTE now a days.



Would YOU let him drive the train to Cork!....I would.

Jamfan

Dunphy's eyebrows are almost as bouffant as much as P. Flynn's... ya boy ya! Class act!

I really feel Bill and Eamonn could reach new heights without them. They'd be the original odd couple.

Acoustic

whenever liverpool win its , real madrid were auful and so were man utd

but if man utd beat real its a master stroke

I wasnt sure if you were joking as I tend to take things to heart, I feel like sending you a trinket of somekind as a peacemaker.

Ok, all you need to do is pay for P&P, so you send me €50 for that and 6-12 weeks later you'll be playing Halo3 all the live long day.

Tell us a joke so.

Wow, prime example there of how alcohol makes topics about drunken TV stars go off-topic.

No.

tangerinepuppet

Hmm, well back on topic, Eamon rocks. I'd have a pint with him any day. Love his Saturday morning conversations on RTÉ 1.

deadhead13

Dunphy rarely fails to p**s me off on champions league nights - but I would probably miss him if he wasn't there.

stovelid

I dislike him because he's prone to bullshit, and he shits on Irish football at every opportunity, but he's honest and he does make me laugh when he does the attack dog /turn up drunk thing on RTE, so I'd go for a pint with him, and then kick him on the way home.

RichTea

He's hilarious. He's just a plank, but a damn good plank! The fact that someone like him can be a soccer pundit is pretty funny and it makes watching it all the more enjoyable.

Eh..No actually.
Dunphy is good entertainment value but his endless backtracking has lost him his credibility as a soccer pundit long ago.
